    Fridge looks nice but cold whisky is not something I'd prefer, IMO it kills taste and aroma, though some say that cold makes it taste differently...

    Looking forward to similar picture here: we had lot of snow dumped recently but for next 10 days it is promised temperatures above freezing and all the snow will melt. Yuk, it's not winter I subscribed to.

    This is interesting image, old church with modern technology in the background.

    I'm with you here! Whisky is best neat, at room temperature, without ice.
    But the Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is supposed to be better at colder tempertures, that's probably just marketing BS, but it is different when cold and interesting to try it, and to see how it changes as it warms in the glass.

    Sorry to join in.

    In my youth I drank 13 in an evening. I cannot even smell whiskey, without feeling ill after 45 years, old or at room temperature, even your picture had its effect.

    Oops, sorry about that!
    I've had that same long lasting expeience twice!
    Both a long time. Once with a horribly sweet whisky liqueur called Drambuie and again with the green Absinthe. Can't stand the smell of either anymore!
    With the Absinthe I really did see the green fairies dancing near the ceiling. The next day despite the headache, I could just about see that the fairies were in fact the emergency exit signs :-)

    Normal Scottish whisky is thankfully not on this list for me, I have quite a collection of that;-)

    I had the same experience with rum. Now any spirit apart from (for some reason) Southern Comfort make me want to gag.
